American IV (2002) Lyrics :
I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

@M16machine1 Agreed......but I love the lyrics and sound of the highwayman by the so called. JC brings it home superbly !!!
-
@BronzeApples JC has a different take on it compared to NIN. He knew he wasn't long for this world and I think this was his own reflection on his life. Superb!

The nine inch nails display this song as a more looking forward song, Cash on the other hand makes it appear to be like he's stopping in his tracks and giving it all away. Truly amazing, in every way.

Like many paintings, a song with various interpretations. Johnny Cash near the end of his life, Johnny Cash at his best.
